If they're actually taking the negative feedback seriously and are going to re-think The One then kudos to them. People do like Kinnect, and it will sell, but you're polarizing your customers by refusing the option to have it. And the end result is gamers who don't want Kinnect don't buy it, and possibly switch to Sony. People want choice, they also want a console that plays games freely.

Straight from the XBox Facebook page:
We at Xbox love games. More importantly, we at Xbox love gamers. Today we announced changes to Xbox One and how you can play, share, loan and resell your games exactly as you do today on Xbox 360. Also, an internet connection won’t be required to play offline Xbox One games. We look forward to gaming with you for years to come.

As one who relies almost entirely on GameFly, this is news I was waiting for. I'm not an early adopter however. I'll still wait a year or so after release before picking one up. Hopefully after they come out with a cheaper Kinect-less model._________________We are Groot

On the real, I'm happy for my gamer friends that will be getting a xboxone. Taking these restrictions away has caused those friends of mine to no longer abandon microsoft and will be getting a xboxone now._________________“I do like metaphorical heroin and my heroin dealer. EA”

Go fuck yourself, MS. Back-track all you want, but we won't forget the utter contempt you showed for customers. The only reason for this 180 is because publishers were probably shouting all up in their face, threatening to abandon the console, etc._________________https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLyXH4YaiCc

It's good to see them taking the criticism to a constructive level. I'm happy they did this. The always online thing was pretty bad, so the fact that they withdrew that will make people sway a bit._________________
